Yes, I agree that it must be the same 4 strand choker worn with different clasps, but I still refuse to believe that the Queen of Norway is wearing fake pearls on important events, like State Visits and gatherings of royals from all over Europe. Of course one cannot be 100% sure just by looking at some photos, but when knowing that these pearls have been worn at such important events I cannot but say that I am 99,9% sure that they are the real deal.
